whitepaper The Emerging Optical Control Plane2009-07-16 Fujitsu
  Traditional transport networks can be modeled as the interaction of two operating planes: a transport plane and a management plane. In this model, the transport plane carries the user data and comprises network equipment, such as line interface cards, switch fabrics, backplanes and fiber plant. Network OAM&P is fully handled by the management plane, implemented by an EMS, NMS, and/or OSS. Now, it's beginning to see the deployment of optical control planes that sit between the management and transport planes. The control plane moves some of the network intelligence down to the NEs. As a result, the NEs have access to complete network topology and resource information, and can use this to plan, establish and maintain user services.

whitepaper The Journey Forward: Passive Optical LAN for the Corporate Wide Enterprise - How Passive Optical LAN Solutions Enable The-Journey to Enterprise IT Resource Optimization2009-05-01 Motorola
  These days, virtually everyone who works in an office environment is struggling with the enterprise-wide mandate to do more work with less money and resources. Based on the same proven and standards based technology as Verizon's successful FiOS service, a Passive Optical LAN (POL) is a point-to-multipoint network in which a single aggregation switch provides more than 7,000 IP voice, data, and video network connections to any Ethernet-based device or system. Enterprise communications travel over an optical fiber for a distance of up to 20km.

whitepaper Transformation of the Enterprise Network Using Passive Optical LAN2009-05-01 Motorola
  The rapid growth of bandwidth requirements and the changing role of enterprise networking are causing disruptive change in the enterprise Local Area Network (LAN). Incumbent vendors are recommending upgrading Ethernet switches to 10 Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) uplinks which typically require single-mode rather than multimode fiber optic cable and replacement of lateral CAT 5 cable with CAT 6 cable. Enterprises facing such disruptive change to either an existing enterprise site or a new enterprise site have the opportunity to dramatically reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by moving to a Passive Optical LAN (POL) solution, rather than continuing with the Present Mode of Operations (PMO) which uses a two- or three-tier switched Ethernet solution.

whitepaper Silicon Photonic WDM Point-to-Point Network for Multi-Chip Processor Interconnects2009-04-30 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Processor performance in instructions per second continues to rise. But the improvement is no longer coming from increasing clock rates due to the associated power, heat and design complexity costs. Instead, parallelism through multi-core processing has become the technology choice to continue processor performance scaling. Processors with 8 cores and 64 threads are commercially available [I], and an 80-core experimental processor has been reported. This trend is expected to continue to hundreds of cores on a chip. With increasing numbers of multi-threaded cores integrated on a single chip, an emerging challenge is to provide a low-latency, low power, and high bandwidth network to effectively interconnect the cores.

whitepaper Polymer Optical Fiber for EtherNet/IP Networks2009-02-25 ODVA
  As EtherNet/IP moves into the machine area, environmental conditions become a concern. In some applications were EMI is high, fiber cabling can provide a higher degree of noise immunity. In the past, the total cost of ownership using fiber is considerably greater than the copper variant. This has hindered the migration of fiber on to the factory floor. With recent breakthroughs in plastics technologies, Polymer Optical Fiber has become a viable solution for on machine cabling. Recently polymers have advanced, providing high temperature, low loss solutions for Polymer Optical Fiber (POF). Polymer optical fibers can be installed and terminated in the field with little to no training using standard tools. Network dependant interfaces using POF technology cost about the same as their copper counterparts.

whitepaper Colorado's Wiggins Telephone Association Offers Rural America True, End-to-End Fiber Optic Internet Access Up to 100Mbps With D-Link Equipment2009-02-23 D-Link
  Wiggins Telephone Association's copper telephone network was at the end of its 30-year lifecycle. Demand for new data services was placing new burdens on the existing telco network. Many of their customers were still using dial-up connections, and Wiggins was not able to deploy broadband services like DSL in many areas because of copper limitations. Another regional telecom provider, Golden West Internet Solutions, suggested that Wiggins install D-Link routers in their local service area. After testing several routers from various manufacturers, Wiggins settled on D-Link's WBR-1310 Wireless G Router. The WBR-1310 connects to an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) card provided by Calix (which is Wiggins' transport provider).

whitepaper Converged Optical Ethernet: OnSite OS-10 Multi-Services Over SDH Provisioning2009-01-26 Patton Electronics
  Most service providers have existing SDH networks that have proven indispensable in serving revenue-critical TDM-based private line services. SDH is firmly established as the technology of choice for general-purpose transport in telecom networks because of its flexibility, reliability, ease of provisioning and multi-vendor interoperability. The advancements of SDH technology, embodied in what is known today as µMSPPs, enable network providers to provide emerging packet-based services over existing SDH networks. Network operators can substantially benefit from Patton OnSite Series µMSPP solution by offering enterprise customers with new, innovative services while extending the life of familiar operations methods and procedures.

whitepaper Cost-Effective Burst-Over-Circuit-Switching in a Hybrid Optical Network2008-11-10 Ghent University
  All optical switching has been proposed as a candidate to allow high capacity networking in the future. Currently, Optical Circuit Switching has been widely deployed, although this approach is potentially bandwidth-inefficient for small granularity flows and needs relatively long set-up times. Research is being done into Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS), but these kinds of architectures are not yet able to be deployed due to the large network cost they impose. This paper tries to combine the benefits from OCS and OBS, by investigating a hybrid switching technique called Burst-Over-Circuit-Switching (BoCS) where both OBS and OCS are used at a specific part in the network.

whitepaper Next Generation Networks and the migration towards convergence2008-10-31 ntl:Telewest Business
  The benefits of converged data and voice networks have been on the horizon for some time, but it is only now that they have become a viable option for the majority of firms. Next Generation Networks (NGNs), which combine data, voice and other applications onto a single platform are driving this change.
